Austria's Next Topmodel, season 5 was the fifth season of the Austrianrealitydocumentary based on Tyra BanksAmerica's Next Top Model. Having the entire panel of judges replaced, Austrian-born international fashion model Melanie Scheriau became the new host and was joined by runway-model and former Lagerfeld-muse Carmen Kreuzer, who was also the casting director for the season, and Rolf Scheider, who was already a judge during the third and fourth season of Germany's Next Topmodel.[1]
The show kicked off on January 3, 2013 with the lowest ratings on the premiere for the history of the show.[2] In difference to other years the casting process was not featured in the premiere episode. Instead the final 20 contestants arrived in a military bootcamp and were then taken to Egypt, where at the end of the first episode, the cast of the top 15 was selected.
The winner of the competition was 18-year-old Greta Uszkai from Vienna. As her prizes, she received a contract with Vienna-based modeling agency Wiener Models, a cover of Austrian Woman magazine, a position as the face of Hervis sportwear, a cruise trip for two courtesy of AIDA Cruises and a SEAT León.
